Jennifer Capriati
Jennifer Marie Capriati (born March 29, 1976, in New York City) is a former World No. 1 women’s tennis player from the United States. Jennifer Capriat won three Grand Slam singles titles (2001 and 2002 Australian Open, 2001 French Open), and the women’s singles gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games.
While Jennifer Capriati was still a toddler, Jennifer was introduced to tennis by her father, Stefano Capriati, an Italian-American boxer turned tennis coach, who has continued to coach her in her later professional career.
In 1986, when Jennifer Capriati’s aptitude for tennis was beginning to show, her family moved to Florida. At the age of ten, Jennifer enrolled in an intense training program run by Jimmy Evert (whose daughter Chris Evert also became a world class tennis player).
